Truth Reels vs Avet

I also put something in wrong and for a while the lever drag adjustment was off which I fixed but don't remember how. I have had to change the bearings in my avets which are a few years older. Max drag is double on the SG so you could use it for bigger offshore stuff where you might need 28# but I have a saltiga(42#) for jigging monsters and never fish heavy line with either of the smaller reels.

monstah,

thats good info. i've been looking at release/truth and i was hoping someone here would compare them to avet. i love my avet but i'm always looking other good stuff made in the usa.

Looking at the accurate fury also if anyone has experience with that reel.

I fish Daiwa Saltist levelwind for trolling and rockfishing. I use the Saltist BG for throwing iron. They are very kayak friendly reels.

I would probably use them if they offered them in left handed.
